All over the Pacific Northwest[edit]

Ask for a Long John at any bakery in the Pacific Northwest and they won't know what you're talking about. Bizzybody (talk) 20:29, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I grew up in the Midwest and the thing that bothers me most about doughnut shops in the Seattle area is that they have "maple bars" that DON'T HAVE ANY DAMN CREME FILLING. Why have a doughnut that is just a different shape, but is otherwise the same as any other frosted raised doughnut? It NEEDS the creme filling to justify its rectangularness!

I was born in British Columbia and have lived there my whole life and we call them Long Johns. I don't recall ever hearing the term "doughnut bar" before. Cool879 (talk) 13:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UK[edit]

So these exist in the UK, but are usually just called doughnuts. It took me a while to find this page and it seemed very US-centric. https://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=102510431 https://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/361/5000119790361/IDShot_540x540.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byornski (talk • contribs) 10:30, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
